As Tablet Race Heats Up, Apple May Try Smaller Device [NYTimes]

This summer, Microsoft announced that it would create its own tablet,
Surface. And Amazon is working on a new version of the Kindle Fire,
with a larger display, that could compete more directly with the iPad,
according to a developer briefed on Amazon’s plans who did not want to
be identified talking about unannounced products. But Apple is hardly
about to cede ground. The company is developing a new tablet with a
7.85-inch screen that is likely to sell for significantly less than
the latest $499 iPad, with its 9.7-inch display, according to several
people with knowledge of the project who declined to be named
discussing confidential plans. The product is expected to be announced
this year.
